Corrections

Published: December 3, 2009

An article on Tuesday about New York police officers' use of fake badges referred incompletely to the crimes for which a man, Eliot Sash, served nearly four years in prison. In addition to his federal conviction for selling fake badges, Mr. Sash was convicted on a state charge in connection with a false claim that his ex-wife had died in the 9/11 attacks, and he received a 1-to-3 year sentence. (The sentences were served concurrently.)
